Constructor Details

#initialize(doc, py_span: nil, start_index: nil, end_index: nil, options: {}) ⇒ Span

It is recommended to use Doc#span method to create a span. If you need to create one using #initialize, there are two method signatures: Span.new(doc, py_span: Object) or Span.new(doc, start_index: Integer, end_index: Integer, options: Hash).

Parameters:

  • doc (Doc) —

    the document to which this span belongs to

  • start_index (Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    the index of the item starting the span inside a doc

  • end_index (Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    the index of the item ending the span inside a doc

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    options (:label, :kb_id, :vector)

def initialize(doc, py_span: nil, start_index: nil, end_index: nil, options: {})
  @doc = doc
  @py_span = py_span || PySpan.call(@doc.py_doc, start_index, end_index + 1, options)
  @text = @py_span.text
end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args) ⇒ Object

Methods defined in Python but not wrapped in ruby-spacy can be called by this dynamic method handling mechanism.
